I don't know what that exactly means under Windows (there was no such mode when I last used it to install something), but normally just running the installer as a simple user should be enough, it is self-explaining. >From the error you got this was probably the problem, as it didn't find all the plugins because those were not installed in your user-space. > Finally, it does run OK after the first fatal launch. > But I have not tested all of it's features. OK, then the problem is solved for now it seems :) Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300)Hi JD, _______________________________________________ Amarok mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok
